Here comes the "omg good luck getting a job" posts. Saying that actually only serves to further the prejudice against those who chose to modify their body. I've never had a problem getting a job in my life and I have ink AND a silly haircut.

Dude, that is a wicked looking sleeve, the color work is fantastic. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I agree with you, and as true as what you say is, sadly the world doesn't work like this for everyone, sure you may be lucky to get a job, but there are many employers who would just straight up refuse employment to people with piercings and tattoos.

Sad and intolerant I know, but for some businesses appearance is everything.

Yeah it might be fine if you want to deliver pizzas for the rest of your life. I work in the technical field and we would laugh at anyone that shows up like this. You represent the company, if you want to make a statement about yourself; look presentable and be articulate.

Sounds like you work for cunts. I have worked in a "technical field" also, a national company no less. I now work in finance for one of my country's big four banks, although I am currently in the interview process for another job in the same industry.

If you wear clown makeup, you should expect to be treated as one.

How about this, how about you judge someone based on the merit of their ability and not their appearance.
